Answer 2

the probability of getting a silver coin is
5/7 ( since there r 5 silver coins)

the probability of getting an even number on a dice is 3/ 6 ( since there r 3 even numbers on a dice)

so the probability of getting those both is
(5/7)x(3/6) = 15/42= 5/14

Answer 4

\[P(Silver AND Even) = P(Silver) * P(Even)\]
\[=\frac{5}{7} * \frac{ 3 }{ 6 }\]\[=\frac{15}{42}\]\[=\frac{5}{14}\]
